LOST, STRAYED OR STOLEN.

Three well.known Daytonites have been
missing over two weeks. They were last
seen going in the direction of Carson. One
is poet, another an orator, and the third
one imagines himself mighty hunter. The
last that was heard from them they were
diving for FISH at Lake Tahoe. Any infor-
nation that will lead TO their discovery will
be tearfully received by their sorrowing
friends. Any person capturing this outfit
will be suitably rewarded upon returning
two thirds of it to the Rock Point mill, and
delivering the remaining one-third to his
friends in Dayton. VIM. SHIRLEY,
Supt. Rock Point Mill.

alfalfa is substantially the feeding plan,
Of Nevada today, but there are Others that
attrac. our attention, and will, when thor
oughIy introduced, cause Nevada to be one
the richest stock raising states in the Union
These thoughts are sugg ested by considering
the value and importance Of alhleria, the
somewhat new fodder plant of Nevada
Although we'll known in California, it Is
comparatively unknown here, having made
its appearance in this section within the pas,
few years. It's seeds have little spiral fila.

the wind catch readily in the sell and grow
quickly. No known forage plant fattens
stock as rapidly as alhleria. l, grows in dry
sandy places where water never comes, and
the raPidity with which it spreads is some.
thing wonderful.
Let the dry lands Of this state BE- seeded
alfleria, and it will be worth millions to our
stock industry. 1t is not probable tina, many
people will act upon this advice, but the
sturdy and enterprising plant is working its
own-way into the country and soon will teach
the people what they ought to have known
years ago. The plant has settled here to

THE last Legislature passed law that
in all public buildings in the State, such as
court houses, churches, school houses, thea
ters and other places where the public as
semble in large bodies, the doors whereby
people enter and depart shall open outward
ly, or outUardly and inwardly. 1t was also
specified that doors that did not conform to
the foregoing requirements, must be made to
do SO prior to the first day Of July 1887.
The penalty for no. having doors so fixed, as
required by this law is fixed by fine Of not
less than one hundred dollars nor more than
one thousand dollars, or imprisonment not
exceeding one year in the State Prison, or by
both such fine and imprisonment. In this
county it seems that no attention has been
paid to this law. Who is to blame is hard
to tell, and whether the law can be enforced
IS conundrum. There is now a chance to
see if it can, though, as there probably have
not been three doors changed in the whole
State. What is the use of making laws un-
less they are enforced?

The jury in the Hong Di murder case
rendered verdict of guilty Of nasier in
the first degree" and asked the Judge to
assess the punishment a, life imprisonment
instead of death. 1t is doubtful if the
Judge would have done this. 1t is most
certain that Hong Di would have hanged
lawfully, but the people were bound to take
no chances. The murder was brutal one,
and the Chinaman deserved to Be hung BY
his heels instead of his neck until he was
dead. The mob that hung him was orderly
and quiet, but the men who composed 1t
were determined. 1t shows that they were
suspicious of delay in the law, as we'll
they should be from the number Of cases thai
are now hanging fire in California. few
more lynchings might wake up the sleepy
expounders Of the law. There is one more
case in particular in California that Judge
Lynch should attend to. That is the case
of Goldenson, the murderer of Mamie Kelly.

THE BATTLE OF HARLEM.
A Revolutionary Incident Recalled by tho
Finding of a Soldiers Body.

A Revolutionary Incident Recalled by tho
Finding of a Soldiers Body.
On the morning of the 10th of Sep
TENDER, 1776, Colonel Knowlton and
Major Leitch were sent out from Fort
Washington, at the upper end of Man
haitian Island, by General Washington,
to capture small detachment of Brit
ish soldiers stationed on the high ground
at Morningside Park. The enemy dis
covered the attempt, however, and es-
capped down the hill. Being reinforced
by the Forty-second Highlanders, under
General Leslie, they attacked the Amer
leans at about One Hundred and Twen-
ty-fourth street, between Eighth and
Ninth avenues, but were driven back
to fence two hundred yards to the
south and east of the point of attack.
The Americans being reinforced by
Colonies Richardson and Grifiths, tho
enemy were dislodged from the fence,
leaving five dead on the field, and re-
treated back to the high grounds at One
Hundred and Twentieth street, where
they were further reinforced by bat
talon of Hessians, company of chas-
seurs and two field pieces. The fight
lasted two hours longer, when the Brit
ish again retreated, leaving the field to
the Americans, and the battle of Har-
lem Plains was fought and won.
Colonel Knowlton and sixteen privates
were killed, and Major Leitch and forty
others were wounded on the American
side. The British loss was fourteen
killed and seventy wounded.
Major Leitch died, and together with
Colonel Knowlton was buried in the
trenches at Fort Washington. It is
supposed by many that their graves
are within the present limits of Trinity
Church cemetery. But a few weeks
since, workmen who were engaged in
cutting a new street through in that
vicinity came upon several graves in
what was supposed to have been part
of the old trenches. One grave con-
tanned a coffin, and the remains evil
IDENTIFY of an officer of rank. A bullet
hole pierced the fleshless skull, and the
bullet lay within the hollow chamber
of the brain. As Knowlton was shot in
the head. the description and circum-
stances tally SO closely, it is believed
by some authorities that the remains
were these of the dead officer who fell
at Harlem more than one hundred years
ago.-N, Y Commercial Advertiser.

A True Mother of Heroes.

A recent application of West Vir-
ginian named Brown at the Pension
Office in Washington brought to light
the fact that one mother had given six-
teen sons to the service of the Union
during the war. She had borne thirty
three children in all, of whom twenty
were boys, and of these only four did
not serve as soldiers in the Union army.
Two were killed and fourteen survive.
Each of the latter is to-day in receipt of
pension from the Government for
disabilities received in the service. and
the death of her other soldier sons en-
titles the mother also IL a pension.
The case is an Interesting one, not only
for the remarkable number of sons Of
one mother who wore the blue, but as
illustrating how contagious was the
war spirit in some families along tho
line of fire. Chicago Netes.

The workmen in Mexican silver
mines become so successful in stealing
silver that the owners employ detec-
tives to work with them. An owner
tells this story: Zone day a detective
came to me and said when such and
such men came out to examine their
sandals. l had that done. On the bot
toms of the sandals was what appeared
to be mud, but when it was scraped
into pan and worked found that it
ran at the rate of So, to the ton. NV
miners had plastercd thin layer of
mud from the mine over the leather,
and then sprinkled on the particles of
silver, and over all had put another
layer of mud. They were working for
thirty-seven and half cents day, and
carrying out fifty cents worth of silver
on the sole of each sandal.

HOW TO GET RICH.
General Butler Tells How Wealth
May Be Acquired.
Benefits Derived from Investing Ones
Earnings I'm Real Estate - Whole-
some Advice for Economical and
Saving Young Men.

have received your note asking me
to write some practical hints for young
men on the requirement of wealth,
which may be published.
A difficult task is set me, as the cir
cumstances under which young men
commence life are so widely varied.
But l think that more young men fail
in the investment of what they earn
or receive than in any other way to ac-
quire property. The temptations to
speculate are so great and the desire
to become suddenly rich so strong,
that believe eight out of ten, if not
more, of young men are wrecked at
the very beginning.
If young man is earning something
more than the expenses of his living,
and has no object in view, he is likely
to either increase these expenses care
lessly, or to loan his money to his
friends, and in so doing, in the major
ity of cases, he will lose both friends
and money, so that the best thing he
can do is to have an object, to gather
up his money, and to have a call for it
which shall be profitable one. He
makes no investment because he says:
81 have got so little money that it
won't come tc any thing; l will wait
until | get more" and in waiting,
generally, what he has goes.
When a young man has very little
money let him buy some property,
preferably piece, however small, ac-
cording to his means, of improved real
estate that is paying rent He had
better buy it when sold at auction, un-
der judicial sale, paying in cash what
he can, giving his notes for the re-
mainder in small sums coming due at
frequently recurring intervals, secured
by mortgage on the property, and
then use all his extra income in pay
ing up those notes. 1t Is always sale
TO discount your own note, and If the
notes come little too FAST as soon as
he gets any thing paid his friends will
aid him when he is putting his money
where it can not be lost, and where the
